photos you’ll pass around the dinner table in 20 years
I’d like to be your family historian.
In a sea of low-quality cell phone photos, I offer you the alternative.
Timeless photographic heirlooms. Created with joy and art and honesty. Images you reminisce over. Images as nostalgia.
how hard they made you laugh
the way they stretched their legs when they first woke up
the curve of your belly as it grew new life
the way they fit in your arms
the way the world stopped
These are the moments we try to hold on to——these are the memories you can trust me to make.

MATERNITY/NEWBORN/FAMILY
To keep things simple, I offer two types of sessions with the hopes of being accessible to a variety of income levels while also sustaining a profitable small business.
THE CUSTOM SESSION
Custom sessions are customizable, unique experiences for newborn, maternity and family clients looking for artsy and timeless images of the people they love.
What’s included?
-
We’ll have as much time as we need to take it slow and get to know eacother. You should always plan on 2-hours for a newborn session, families can be closer to an hour.
-
We’ll work together to pick a meaningful indoor or outdoor location for your session.
-
I edit every single image by hand, removing distractions and smoothing unexpected bruises or accidental chocolate smudges on a sweater.
-
Your images deserve to be in your hands.
-
I’ll design and present a 20-30 second highlight reel including my favorite still images from our session, integrating video and maybe GIFS too (new to 2024 clients)! This makes for a totally unique and modern way to share and revisit your images from our time together. Your highlight reel is saved as a video format as well as a link so you can share with all of your loved ones as well as download for keeping as a family heirloom!
-
Your gallery store includes a curated selection of high-end photo goods including albums, calendars, gallery frames, cards and more. As a repeat client you’ll receive 20% off your store so you can purchase gifts for family and heirlooms for yourself at an affordable price.
Prints are priced competitively with online sites like MPIX and Artifact Uprising.

Let's be honest, that's a real possibility! That's why I let kiddos lead the session. I don't force kids to smile and look at the camera or to do anything they really don't want to do. What this usually leads to is kids opening up and realizing they can have fun! That's when we get the photos of them being themselves. I suggest never disciplining your kids during a session and letting me take the lead. Trust me, we'll get good photographs, no matter how wild your little tribe is!
-
This totally depends on the vibe you are going for! I always suggest doing at least one session in your home during your kids lifetime. This will let them have memories with YOU in the photographs in the place they called home. If you're looking for an outdoor session, I have a curated list of the best locations to choose from in Boston and on the North Shore.

This is one of the most common concerns of most clients. Your home does NOT have to look like an Architectural Digest photograph. If you have seen my portfolio then you know that YOU are the focus, not your space (unless you would like to incorporate it). We can get most photos in 2 locations, on near a bright window and one on a flat surface in good light! I've done entire sessions in one room that still resulted in a gallery full of variety

Custom Sessions are longer (1+ hour) and are scheduled specifically to your needs in a location that is meaningful to you. Custom Sessions are perfect for families looking for more time and customization as well as newborn/baby clients who will need me to come to their homes.
Capsule Sessions are abbreviated (20-30 minutes) and occur on preset dates/times in a predetermined location. They are limited in availability and typically sell out quickly.

Anywhere between birth and 3 months! This phase is when baby is the most ‘baby-like’, before they start to sit-up and try to crawl. I have been loving the trend of parents choosing to wait a bit longer to have their baby sessions. A sweet spot is 6-8 weeks when their little personalities really start to shine! This is also beneficial to parents because you tend to be more settled in and comfortable at that time. If you choose a super newborn session I suggest scheduling a minimum of 1-week from the due date.
The Portrait Sessions
In addition to lifestyle family sessions, I also offer portrait sessions and events throughout the year including Little Portraits, Motherhood Session, Senior Portraits, and Vintage Sessions.
A timeless and fun alternative to stiff school portraits.
10-minutes, all joy, no tears.
little Portraits
Let your kid wear their soccer jersey they never take off or their favorite socks. No need to wear a button down or shiny shoes. Just kids being kids, the way it should be.
Little Portraits are offered once or twice per season at select studios in the North Shore area. To find out about the next Little Portrait event, make sure you’re signed up for the newsletter!

high school Senior portrait sessions
Photographs that are cool enough for a teen but classic enough for the grandparents too
the vintage sessions
An analog answer to our digital fatigue.
These sessions are a nod to the street-side photos studios of the early 20th century. You (and maybe your family too) come to a local studio for a quick 10-minute session in black and white. You see all of your photographs on the spot. We pick your favorite and it’s printed using archival inks on museum-quality paper right then and there. You leave with something tangible and real rather than waiting weeks to receive an impersonal link to another gallery. Additional prints and digital files are available upon delivery of your finished gallery just 24-hours later.

motherhood
In the studio, or in your home, these sessions are an intimate documentation of the act of mothering. The light and the dark, the joy and the tears. The all encompassing.
